knits

hi there. time to check in again and post a few pics of knitting. first up is a quick knit i churned out while sipping tea with jan at village yarn and tea yesterday.

i found this iphone cozy on ravelry. i didn't add the pocket and such. mainly used it to practice the magic cast on. and use up some leftover str (lightweight, lemongrass).

my big fo is actually soaking in the sink so no final pics to share yet.

here's lil overseeing my work. she wasn't too happy that i filled the sink with vinegar water.

ellen was kind enough to offer her help with blocking so i'll be headed over to her place tonight to block this. i'll share details when it is dry. i am so excited about this project. i hope it turns out as fabulous as i expect. the biggest shock? this is a gift knit! you know how i hate to knit for others, but i made an exception.

in other news, i finally made a dent in my bedroom. it had been a wreck since i moved in 2+ years ago. my new bedding and furniture are in now in place though and it feels good (i did the headboard myself).

i need some art on the walls, a rug and a hanging lamp but for now i am happy with it.

just an fyi, there will be a bag sale on the shop blog this friday at 10 a.m. pacific. last one for a few weeks as my mom and dad are off on vacation soon.
